K. Michelle before her ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ makeover

K. Michelle before “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta”

Before K. Michelle was a bubbly reality TV star, she was an HBCU attending southern songstress with strong vocals. Kimberly Michelle Pate , 27, hails from Memphis, Tennessee but first made waves at Florida A&M University. While there, she pledged Delta Sigma Theta and was a part of the school’s homecoming court.

She later landed a record deal, was taken under the wing of R. Kelly and landed a spot on Mona Scott Youngs’ “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” series.

Now a principal cast member, viewers will watch as Michelle feuds with rapper Rasheeda and Mimi Faust after already mending her relationship with Ariane Davis.
